Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A method, comprising: determining a set of measurements depicting a roof; extracting a set of roof representations for the roof from the set of measurements using a segmentation model; and determining a roof age for the roof based on the set of roof representations using a roof age model comprising a neural network comprising a set of encoding layers, wherein outputs of the set of encoding layers are used to determine the roof age, wherein the roof age is further determined using a set of parameters comprising a sun orientation associated with each measurement of the set of measurements.

2

2. The method of claim 1, wherein a portion of the roof is obscured.

3

3. The method of claim 1, wherein a measurement of the set of measurements comprises a top-down view of the roof.

4

4. The method of claim 1, wherein a measurement of the set of measurements comprises an aerial image.

5

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising determining a measurement segment depicting the roof from a measurement of the set of measurements, wherein a roof representation of the set of roof representations is extracted from the measurement segment.

6

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the segmentation model is trained to be invariant to a shadow.

7

7. The method of claim 1, wherein a measurement of the set of measurements comprises a low resolution image.

8

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the roof age is provided to a user endpoint using an API.

9

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the neural network is trained to be invariant to noise.

10

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the roof age model is trained by: determining a set of training measurements for each training property of a set of training properties; extracting a set of roof representations for each training property from the respective set of training measurements; determining a ground-truth roof age for each training property; training the roof age model to predict the ground-truth roof age, based on the extracted set of roof representations for the respective training property.

11

11. A system, configured to: determine a set of roof information for a roof, comprising a set of measurements depicting the roof and a set of parameters comprising a sun orientation associated with each measurement of the set of measurements; extract a set of roof representations for the roof from the set of roof information using a segmentation model; extract a set of feature vectors associated with the set of roof representations; and determine a roof age for the roof based on the set of feature vectors using neural network layers of a roof age model.

12

12. The system of claim 11, wherein a measurement of the set of measurements comprises an RGB image.

13

13. The system of claim 11, wherein the system is further configured to determine a measurement segment depicting the roof from a measurement of the set of measurements, wherein a roof representation of the set of roof representations is extracted from the measurement segment.

14

14. The system of claim 11, wherein the segmentation model comprises a classifier.

15

15. The system of claim 11, wherein the segmentation model is trained to be invariant to an occlusion.

16

16. The system of claim 11, wherein the roof is associated with a built structure comprising a residential building.

17

17. The system of claim 11, wherein the roof age is provided to a user endpoint using an API.

18

18. The system of claim 11, wherein the roof age is further determined based on data associated with a third-party.

19

19. The system of claim 11, wherein the roof age model is trained by: determining a set of training measurements for each training property of a set of training properties; extracting a set of roof representations for each training property from the respective set of training measurements; determining a ground-truth roof age for each training property; training the roof age model to predict the ground-truth roof age, based on the extracted set of roof representations for the respective training property.

20

20. The system of claim 11, wherein the roof age is further determined based on at least one of a roof condition or a roof material.
